How to find people?

[CyberByte]

I've been playing for a couple of hours now, but I'm having some serious trouble with a lot of missions, because they will involve finding people (usually lords). The quest text will usually tell me their location at the time that I got the mission, but by the time I get around to actually doing the mission and when I reach that location, they are (almost) never there. How do I find them?
I don't have a high tracking skill, but even if I did, it seems that the tracks should have cleared if it's a 30 day mission and I get there after 20 days. Am I just stupid for not doing everything immediately, and is it now impossible, or is there some way to get more up to date info on their location?

Thanks!

PS Sorry if this has been asked before but "finding" and "people" are pretty generic terms, so the search function didn't yield anything useful.

You can ask any lord of the same faction about the location of a lord, usually he will tell you which settlement he is near. Just start there with your tracking.

If you are willing to use cheats you can use ctrl + T, this makes everything visible on the map (it is deactivated by using it again).
